How to Remove a Broken Tap with Walton Tap Extractors
Performance professionals have depended on our tap extractors since 1908. In three simple steps you can remove a broken tap without drilling, lasers, damaged threads, scrapped parts, or repair inserts.
Step 1
Thoroughly remove all chips of the broken tap. Insert the Extractor fingers into the flutes of the broken tap, pushing them gently, but firmly, into position.
Step 2
Push the holder down until it touches the broken tap. Slide the sleeve down until it touches the work.
Step 3
Apply a tap wrench to the square end of the holder. Twist forward and backward a few times to loosen, then back out the broken tap.
